A quiet, sharp-tongued math prodigy x an arrogant statistics prodigy, underclassman x upperclassman.
[Provisional Blurb]
When it came to Pei Yun, Xie Yi honestly looked down on him a little. Unfortunately, as someone who never watched Bilibili, he didn't know that the world had an ironclad law on par with the objective laws of nature:
The True-Flavor Axiom.
Mathematics has little patience for vague words like "probably" and "already."
So, much later, Xie Yi wrote on a sheet of draft paper:
Proposition A: It is possible that I like my upperclassman.
Proposition B: If A is true, then my feelings for my upperclassman are unique.
He wrote "Proof:" beneath the two propositions, thought for a while, then decided the wording wasn't precise enough. He crossed out "my upperclassman" and neatly wrote "Pei Yun" instead.
Proposition A: It is possible that I like Pei Yun.
Proposition B: If A is true, then my feelings for Pei Yun are unique.
Proof:
...A whole lot of blank space.
How could he prove it? By construction? By contradiction?
No, no. Xie Yi then immediately thought of how Pei Yun would be answering questions for them after class. Maybe there was a chance...
No. Impossible.
He clicked his tongue, tore off the paper, folded it up, and hid it in his pocket.
Xie Yi thought he was probably done for.
But he was willing to accept it:
He had fallen for him.
[Some rambling]
1. The author is a bottom-of-the-class student. This story is a fan's review of the genius's work.
2. Not sure when I'll start writing. Definitely after Beauty is finished. Ahem, for now it's just sitting here as a laid-back prerelease.
3. I posted a screenshot on Weibo, though probably nobody's interested. Sigh.
4. Writing out of love. Let's go!
5. The author is terrible at naming things. The protagonists' names are provisional and might change _(:з"∠)_
Theme: Science students are adorable, too!
